He'll take longer, but he's still worth that price point over OEL at his price point.
S Jones...is he a keeper in a keep 8, points only pool?
He only costs .9 million or so next season.
I would potentially end up dropping OEL who goes up to 6 million. (In our pool, that is right on the edge of a guy being not keeper material).
Will Jones develop more scoring ability by next season or is it going to take longer?

I think Jones will develop naturally despite starting his NHL career just after being drafted. Of course, defensemen tend to take a bit longer than forwards to hit their stride, but in another three seasons, or four, Jones will be clicking along at 45+ points per season, more if Weber starts to decline and Jones becomes the man on the power play.

Pretty much this. I have to think Nash will make some type of a move with the D to free up some ice time for someone. Could Jones benefit? Sure. Could Jones be moved? Possibly. Either way I think he'll get there and probably a bit quicker than another 3-4 seasons. Maybe 1-2 seasons is my guess.
I would keep Jones at 0.9M more than OEL at 6M....

Many of the dmen at high costs can be totally discarded unless they are elite offensively.

I would need to see your roster (which doesn't show in your sig) before making a decision but I think it depends on your potential to win next year.
I've decided to keep Jones. It hasn't hurt that he's started to produce more since I made this thread. I'm going to attempt to trade OEL to a contender down the stretch (if he can get hot enough) since at 6 mil hes not really ownable in my league (I love OEL btw).
